OCEANS ’07 MTS/IEEE Vancouver Student Poster Program

The 21st Student Poster Program was held as a part of OCEANS07MTS/IEEEVancouver. The Student Poster Program and Competition has been an integral and important part of the OCEANS Conferences since 1989. The program is designed to foster and promote student involvement in technical societies and conferences and to provide a forum for the student to interact with marine professionals. It is open to engineering and science graduate and undergraduate students of any tertiary level university or college worldwide. Twenty two students were selected from 53 submitted abstracts from schools in Asia, Africa, Europe and North America to present their posters. Nineteen were able to attend. Once again we were able to receive support from the US Navy Office of Naval Research. A judging team made up of members from OES and MTS judged all of the posters and selected the top six for awards. The awards were announced and presented at the Wednesday Night Gala Reception at the Pan Pacific Hotel Atrium.

“Acoustic Positioning and Tracking in Portsmouth Harbour, New Hampshire”

During the Gala Reception all of the Students were called forward and introduced to the Conference Attendees by Dr. James McFarlane. He then introduced COL Norman D. Miller who inducted the students into the “Student Poster Hall of Fame” and then announced the award winners:
